Ise'nt it math.sqrt and not "sqrt"..

Error is clear: a nil value; means that sqrt don't exist.
In some cases you need to load the math lib yourself before you can use it.

QuoteIse'nt it math.sqrt and not "sqrt"..

You're most likely correct.  I am just learning and have found that none of the other 'global' functions or constants are working either.  Evidently because they're are not finding those 'class libraries'.

I tried your suggestion and works fine.  Which leads me to another qestion: is there an 'API' or list of these class libraries somewhere?  and what those libraries contain?

Thanks
